The 'what fights did you watch today?' thread

I do think Meldrick's "dominance" in that fight is overplayed by some.

 

Duran - Barkley
Rose - Rudkin

 

Yuriorkis Gamboa vs Thomas Hengstberger
Yuriorkis Gamboa vs Al Seeger
Yuriorkis Gamboa vs Nestor Hugo Paniagua

 

I watched Mayweather v Mosley again last night. If Floyd fights like that against Pacquiao there's a good chance he'll knock him out, although there's a chance he gets knocked out himself too.

 

Gatti v Robinson 1

 

Yuriorkis Gamboa vs Johnnie Edwards

 

Tyson vs Douglas
Tyson vs Ruddock 2

Just watched Eubank-Watson 2, it's nothing short of a disgrace that Watson was allowed out for the 12th, he had to be dragged to the centre of the ring for ****s sake. Absolutely tragic. :-(

 

Alex Leapai vs Travis Walker.

Not going to see a better Heavyweight fight this year I don't think. What a shame that a incompetent ref had to spoil it all. First two rounds were nip and tuck with Leapai landing the more damaging punches and wobbling Walker numerous times. Walker then started taking over against his tired opponent and floored him late in the 3rd. In the 4th, Walker continued with his dominance, then Leapai at the end of the round comes back with a hopeful flurry, lands a couple of shots and the ref then stops it....Walker dished out a lot more punishment in the same round and the ref never came close to stopping it...

Anyway, great fight, terrible commentating (think RTE but worse) and terrible refereeing. It's a free download on WBVA so I advise anyone to get it :good

 

norton vs ali I

 

Oscar de la Hoya vs Fernando Vargas

 

Munroe vs Morris

Close fight. Morris with the flashier work, Munroe with the work rate. Munroe fought like he does early on in fights throughout the contest - not the typical using his strength to bully the opponent in to the ropes. Also as a side note, Maloney was in Morris' corner

Arthur vs Guliakevich

Guliakevich started better, taking the first 3 rounds IMO, but Arthur came back well in the 4th wobbling Guli. In the 6th (I think), Guli intentionally headbutted Arthur and got two points deducted. Right after, Arthur charges at Guli and acidentally headbutts him! This causes a cut and the fight goes to a technical decision in the next round. Arthur, although not great, deserved to win.

 

Khan-Prescott

 

Heads up for Icemax: Camacho-Mancini is up on WVBA, not a bad fight but it took place a few years too late.
